*The JROTC runners must meet the following criteria to receive the award: be a rising sophomore, junior, senior, or have a Norwich acceptance letter.

Cadets and Cadre from Vermont and throughout the Northeast may register for free to participate in our Norwich University event Saturday, April 23rd at 11:00 a.m. 

All other registrants (guests, community members, alumni, parents and families of Norwich students, etc.) will be charged $25 per adult and $15 per child to include a 100th Anniversary commemorative hat, bar-b-que, and a Centennial Certificate of Participation.

The JROTC 100th Anniversary Fun Run will provide JROTC units the opportunity to plan, conduct, and participate in an event to raise funds for their unit or to contribute toward their service learning/community service project. The overall goal of this worldwide synchronized 5 km event is to have a simultaneous start time in order to allow JROTC units to connect via social media and to be able to view locations around the world in order to truly appreciate the scope and magnitude of this event.
